Scholes: \u2018Keep.\u2019<\/p>\n

Matthijs<\/strong> De Ligt<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scholes: \u2018I think it\u2019d be between him and Harry Maguire who you\u2019d keep, I think you\u2019d keep just one of them. If he (De Ligt) was fit, I\u2019d probably just go for him.\u2019<\/p>\n

Harry Maguire<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scholes: \u2018Look, I think he\u2019s been really good and he\u2019s brought himself back from the dead really. I think he\u2019s been sensational with what he\u2019s done, I\u2019m so so pleased for him, but I\u2019m thinking about a Manchester United team you want to win the league and the Champions League and that\u2019s where United should be aiming. I\u2019m not sure you\u2019d do that with Maguire, unless you\u2019ve got someone like a Rio (Ferdinand) next to him then possibly, yeah.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s Manchester United, you\u2019ve got to be talking about winning the Premier League. If it\u2019s one of four, you\u2019d probably take him but I\u2019d have De Ligt in that as one of four. I think they\u2019re both quite similar but De Ligt is a little bit younger so that\u2019s on his side, he\u2019s a little bit quicker, so I\u2019d probably just go for De Ligt.\u2019<\/p>\n

Lysander<\/strong> Martinez<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scholes: \u2018Do you know what? After, publicly, we got a bit of s*** (for their recent comments about Martinez), in all seriousness, when he was playing I thought he was really good. I do, I genuinely think he was really good. When I\u2019m talking about one of four, you think about Maguire and De Ligt with a Martinez\u2026 I don\u2019t think he suits them. I think they need somebody more dominant, more quick, more strong, someone who just takes the ball of centre-forwards, \u201cGet out my way!\u201d, Jaap Stam, Rio Ferdinand.<\/p>\n

\u2018The one thing I like about him is he\u2019s got a great left foot, he plays really good, but are you winning the Premier League, the Champions League with him as your centre-half? Again, I think every centre-half they\u2019ve got, they need a better one next to them.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019d probably just keep him.\u2019<\/p>\n

Lena<\/strong> Yoro<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scholes: \u2018I think he\u2019s struggled, me. I think there\u2019s something in there, I think he needs a bit of time, but if you had to make a choice now, I\u2019d probably sell him.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
